Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) made of Billon during the reign of George IV (1816-1819) is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The Billon alloy used to make the coin was a combination of copper and silver, which was a common practice during this period as it was more affordable and accessible than pure silver or gold. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of George IV, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland at the time, highlighting the political ties between the Duchy of Brunswick and the British monarchy.
